Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Reno, NV

I provide compassionate, person-centered support for older adults navigating the emotional challenges that can come with aging, including life transitions, changes in independence, grief and loss, identity shifts, loneliness, and adapting to new circumstances. With specialized experience working with older adults in memory care and community settings, I use an integrative approach that honors each person’s unique life experiences, strengths, and personal story. Through therapeutic conversation, mindfulness, creative expression, and Dance/Movement Therapy approaches, I support emotional well-being, connection, self-expression, and quality of life at every stage of aging.

I can help with elderly phase of life issues. During our collaborative experience together, I will provide an empathic and caring space to help you move through your struggles, so you can live your best life. Together we will find ways towards a path of feeling better, leaning new coping skills to reconnect with your internal self.

I have training and experience working with older adults and often support older adults through activities such as life review to best support their unique needs.

Getting to advanced age can be a blessing, but it also presents many challenges. Retirement, lifestyle changes, health issues, cognitive decline, are just some of those challenges. Finding purpose and value in all life stages requires accepting changes and adapting to new circumstances.

Older adulthood can bring a range of emotional and cognitive challenges. I specialize in working with older adults and their families to address these concerns with compassion, respect, and evidence-based care. My approach draws from geropsychology, neuropsychology, and mindfulness-informed therapy to support emotional well-being, promote independence, and improve quality of life. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or an aging loved one, I invite you to contact me for a free consultation.

Reno's rapid growth — driven by a wave of tech and logistics companies relocating from California, anchored by facilities from Tesla, Apple, and Amazon — has transformed a gambling-and-entertainment city into a more economically diverse metro, and its therapy community is evolving to serve both the long-established casino workforce and a growing population of tech transplants. The city's proximity to the Sierra Nevada and outdoor recreation culture attracts a younger, health-conscious demographic who are generally comfortable seeking therapy, while the older gaming-industry workforce may carry greater stigma around help-seeking. Renown Health and the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private therapy community. Reno's significant homeless population and substance use challenges mean therapists specializing in co-occurring disorders serve an especially important community role.
